U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un are holding their historic summit at Capella Hotel in Singapore’s Sentosa island to discuss the North’s denuclearization.

The meeting started at 10 a.m. (9 a.m. Singapore time). It was the first-ever sit-down between the leaders of the Korean War adversaries and the culmination of a months-long flurry of diplomacy.

The two leaders started the meeting with a handshake, followed by a private one-on-one meeting. They will be joined later by their staffs for an extended meeting and a working lunch.

Trump will hold a press conference later Tuesday. It’s uncertain if Kim will co-host it.
